I wonder if someone on the list can figure this one out ? My 2 XG. Grandfather Caleb Savage was an agricultural labourer in Beachampton, then Passenham until the 1881 census where he has moved into Stony Stratford and is listed as a Grocer(s) Porter. He is living in "The Gardens", New Street, Stony Stratford East. In 1891 he is in the same house and is listed under occupation as "General Dralen shop" The writing is relatively easy to read and I cannot make anything else out of what is written. In 1901, he has moved to 130 High Street, Stony Stratford East and has a grocers shop. Any ideas as to what the 1891 occupation could be ? Gill Smith Haliburton, Ontario
